Villa Poseidonia sits on the edge of the village surrounded by a green canopy of palm, olive and cypress trees and just about ticks every box we can think of, for a memorable Villa holiday in Kefalonia.

It took us a little under 5 mins to walk to the pretty seafront of Katelios, where there are several tavernas and cafes by the waterside. There’s a sandy beach scattered with pebbles and backed by tamarisk trees with sunbeds for hire. At the other end of the village is a small harbour where the days catch is brought in to be served in the tavernas later in the day.

The garden is rich with natural greenery and down on the stone paved pool terrace the surrounding vegetation explodes with leaves of a banana tree hanging over the water and adding an exotic subtropical air. In addition to the lovely 8m x 4 pool (depth 1.25m x 1.70m) there is a separate splash pool with air jets depth 90cm, ladder entry.

A flight of tiled steps lead up to the wide terraces to the front and side of Villa Poseidonia where a pergola throws shade over the outside dining table, by the purpose built barbecue. At this level, views are further enhanced by the blue sea sparkling over those olive trees and between the dark green cypresses.

The kitchen is close by, making it very easy to transport food outside, or eat at the wooden table and chairs by the two set of French doors. The kitchen itself is as well equipped as you would expect, with dishwasher, ceramic four ring hob and electric oven, microwave, fridge freezer and plenty of cupboards and work surfaces. To the right of the kitchen is a convenient WC and a walk in shower.

The living room is light and spacious with three sofas, a plasma sat TV and DVD player and almost floor to ceiling sliding patio doors to the wide tiled terrace.

Upstairs the bedrooms are all light and airy with high wood beamed ceilings. The double room, with smart ensuite shower room, is very spacious and no less than three sets of French windows open onto balconies with wonderful sea and mountain views.

Each of the two twin bedrooms also have ensuite shower rooms, one has French doors on to a balcony at the front of the Villa also with sea and mountain views. The second twin bedroom is ideal for children, teenagers or a single person as the beds both have their own areas of the room.

Daytrip boats often stop at Katelios at which time the tavernas will be busier but in the evening the pace slows and this is when the locals come down to enjoy the laid back atmosphere of this little seaside village and Katelios seems almost set adrift under the stars on the coast of this small Greek Island.

There are many beautiful beaches in this south east corner of the island and 10 mins drive away the resort of Skala offers more in the way of tourist activities. In the summer there’s a boat that makes the trip between Katelios, Skala and Poros three times a day or hire a boat for the day and explore the little beaches inaccessible by car.

"The villa and village are fabulous we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Katelios at the villa and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Perfect villa, perfect location"Kate - Aug 2018

Location of Villa PoseidoniaKatelios, Kefalonia

A laid back seaside village with a gently shelving sand and pebble beach, known for its excellent choice of fish tavernas.

The village settles into the bottom of a wide south facing valley that runs down to the coast, where fertile fields yield a variety of fruit and vegetables. As the valley runs into the sea there's a scattering of private Villas and houses, spread out across the valley floor. A quiet resort in the evening where trawling the beachside road to select a table at a taverna is the predominant activity, during the day visitors swell the number of holidaymakers brought in by car, a local bus and a water taxi service from Skala to enjoy the pretty bay.

Claire

Super Villa"This is a super villa, large inside with great air con throughout. Ideally located, just a short walk into town and the lovely local beach. I would certainly recommend"

Syros

Highly recommended"Very nice and spacious villa. I would recommend for families with kids. The pool and jacuzzi will keep them busy all the time while you will be relaxing in one of the patios areas. The four bathrooms make your stay much more comfortable. Spacious kitchen and plenty of appliances."

Stephen & Friends

"The villa was very spacious and had everything you could need. The outside space was fantastic with various seating and dining areas plus a pool and jacuzzi.
A few minutes walk to the beach and restaurants."

Loved everything"We loved everything about our stay at the Villa Poseidon. The beautiful pink villa has panoramic views across the whole of Katelios, mountains and sea. We felt there were modern amenities including electronic window/patio shutters, a dishwasher, strong wifi etc. The villa was very spacious with three bedrooms and four toilet/shower rooms. The pool area was great with lots of space for fun pool floats (a necessity of course!) and four separate seating areas. The pool and sun lounger area received the sun until around 5.30pm. The local mini markets, tavernas and beaches are all a 5-10minute walk away. The villa felt quite secluded by plants, pretty flowers and shrubbery which we liked and was a refreshing change for a couple who usually stay in hotels. Kefalonia is a beautiful island and we found Katelios and the Villa Poseidon a great base to explore it. We booked a one day island excursion with Panem Tours on the main road to the beach (7min from villa) which we couldn't recommend more. We loved our stay and freelance team were always a message away. Great communication throughout and we would love to return again soon."

Beautiful villa in a fantastic setting"Villa Poseidon has everything you need for a fantastic holiday, the kitchen is very well equipped as is the rest of the villa, the outside was very well maintained and the pool man came every day. The maid also came every day to water and sweep outside and once a week to clean inside. All amenities were just a short walk away which is exactly what we wanted as we did not wish to hire a car"

Lovely Villa, Excellent location"Lovely villa, excellent location
Have recently returned from a 2 week stay at Villa Posiedon and we had a lovely holiday. There were 6 of us staying in the villa, all adults and there was plenty of space for us all. The villa was very clean inside and out. The pool was tended to daily and the villa was cleaned/ towels and linen changed a couple of times a week which was great. The villa was well equipped, the only slight disappointment was the barbeque which looks really impressive in the pictures but only had a small grill area. This really wasn't much of an issue as we ate out most evenings. The garden/ pool area was nice and private with lots of shaded areas. We had a small problem with the hot water one day that was sorted out within an hour of us reporting it (on a Friday evening) - great service. The beach is an easy 10 min walk and there is a mini market closer that that. There are a number of tavernas along the beach all within a 15 minute walk. This was perfect for us as we didn't want to hire a car. They all have similar menus and mostly have a good selection of fresh fish and traditional Greek dishes as well as pastas pizzas etc. The food isn't fancy but its high quality and good value for money. The local house wines tend to be good quality and cheap so overall eating out is much cheaper than the UK."

Superb Villa"Superb villa ,very well maintained,maid service and pool service excellent .Villa is in a perfect position for supermarkets and restaurants 10-15 mins stroll,couldn't fault any of the restaurants all on beach front. We had one minor problem with a leak from boiler room but one phone call to Diane your manager and within 5 hours the problem was dealt with, only mentioning this because of the fact how speedily it was dealt with by the team.Looking forward to Kefalonia again next year .You can book with confidence with Freelance .******"

Highly recommended!"We spent just over a week at this Viulla
It lived up to our expectations - good location , excellent sea views, well equipped (even WiFi), tastefully furnished and well-designed (shade where you need it when you need it). We particularly appreciated the beach & village about 5 minutes by foot. Highly recommended!

** Top Tip **, if you avoid flying at the weekends or in different durations, 5,10 16 nights, flights are often a lot cheaper, and remember with Freelance you can arrive ANY DAY at our villas, good eh ...
